Achieve True Wellness with Organic India

Product was given to me in order to post my honest opinion.

I had heard of Organic India before but I had never tried their products. Little did I know that their product line was more than just tea! Through Moms Meet, I was able to try a variety of their products.

Organic India strives to deliver true wellness through its 100% organic, pure, and natural products. Their objective also includes working with organic farmers in India, providing them premium prices for their crops, and continuing to promote sustainable agriculture. Their Trademark product is Tulsi (Holy Basil) tea, available in over 20 delicious flavors. I was familiar with their tea, but I had no clue that they had such a wide variety!

Organic YumEarth Candy for a Natural Easter

Product was given to me in order to post my honest opinion.

With certain holidays, I tend to wait till the last minute to buy gifts. So far I seem to be on top of it this year. I was ready and prepared for Valentine’s Day over a week in advance. Now that Easter is coming up, I have already planned out my kid’s Easter Baskets.

My husband and I like to limit sugar, but around holidays we let our kids enjoy it a little more often. But if they are going to have sugar, we try to make sure it is from a company that only uses real ingredients. YumEarth has released a line of Easter themed candy. This will definitely be in my kids’ baskets, and my husband’s too!

Benefits of Using Xylitol + a Toothpaste Recipe

I recently discovered the presence of Xylitol in more natural products. I decided to to try it out to see what it tasted like and to see if I could use it to make my own toothpaste.

is all natural and made of hardwood birch trees in the USA, not from corncobs. It looks and tastes like sugar and replaces sugar equally in recipes. One thing I appreciate and love is that there is no aftertaste. Xylitol has 40% fewer calories than table sugar and 75% fewer carbohydrates. Xylitol is recommended for diabetics and weight conscious individuals because of its low glycemic index. Xylitol is also linked to reducing the risk of tooth decay which is why it is found in natural and DIY toothpastes. Morning Pep’s Xylitol is Kosher and free of GMOs, corn, wheat, gluten, soy, and dairy.

Celebrate Valentines Day with YumEarth Organic Pops

Product was given to me in order to post my honest opinion.

For some reason, I always wait till the last minute when it comes to buying candy and cards for Valenitnes Day. My kids are in school, so they are excited to bring candy and cards for their classmates. This year I am on top of things and I have found the perfect candy.

YumEarth produces the #1 organic candy in America. Their candy ranges from lollipops, to sour candies, to gummy bears, and so much more. YumEarth was started by two dads who only wanted to treat their children to natural candy, without any high fructose corn syrup or artificial ingredients. Made with all natural ingredients, these sweet treats are sure to please everyone.

I try to limit sweets in my home, but if we are going to have a sugary treat, then I would prefer that it is made with real ingredients. I have tried a variety of YumEarth products and I am a big fan! I love their Sour Beans!!! YumEarth has so many options that you are sure to find candy that suits you.

YumEarth Organic Candy for Valentine's Day

One great feature of these lollipops is that each pop delivers 100% of your daily Vitamin C. Your child won’t even realize that they are enjoying a sweet “vitamin”! The pops come in 5 flavors: Pomegranate Pucker, Wet-Face Watermelon, Strawberry Smash, Googly Grape, and Very Very Cherry. I think that Wet-Face Watermelon is my favorite, while my kids like Strawberry Smash and Googly Grape.

For Valenitne’s Day, YumEarth has released a special Organic Pops pack. The pack comes with about 30 lollipos and stickers to put on the pops. Your kids can write names on the stickers before applying, for a quick and easy Valentine card and treat. My kids will both be bringing YumEarth Organic Pops to their classes this Valentine’s Day.

Everyday Snacks with Harvest Snaps

Product was given to me in order post my honest opinion.

577367_476075289114994_32105534_n My family loves to snack! As soon as my kids come home from school, they ask for a snack. At night when the kids have gone to bed, my husband gets out a snack.

I try to find healthy snacks like fruit and veggies, but sometimes they want something savory. Harvest Snaps is the perfect savory snack for every member of my family.

Harvest Snaps come in two different varieties: Snapea and Lentils. The Snapea Crisps are made from 70% pea, while the Lentil Snaps are made from 65% lentil. Harvest Snaps offers a healthier snacking option, without sacrificing taste. The signature crunch comes from the fact they are baked – not fried. They are all-natural, tasty and guilt-free. Each of the 6 zesty flavors contain high fiber, protein, and are low in sodium and fat.

Cleanse your Body Naturally with Lyfe Tea

Product was given to me in order to post my honest opinion.

I think health is on most people’s minds as they start the New Year. I know that I am trying to incorporate more exercise into my daily schedule, along with healthier eating habits. I was excited when I found Lyfe Tea, a company that is dedicated to helping people cleanse their bodies naturally.

Lyfe Tea has created a morning and evening tea blend that will help you feel your best. The teas are not only rich in antioxidants, but they are designed to rid the body of fat while improving your overall body function. The teas will help in controlling weight and aid in circulatory function. As you drink the tea daily, both morning and evening, you will rid your body of toxins.

Cleanse your body in the New Year with Lyfe Tea

The teas cleanse out your entire digestive tract, removing unwanted toxins that may be preventing you from losing weight, making you bloated, and/or preventing you from absorbing all of the nutrients from the food you eat. This results in feeling tired and sluggish on a daily basis. The Detox Tea allows your body to rid itself of Toxins that may have been building up over the years. The “tea”tox helps boost energy and metabolism, as well as allows impurities to leave your body.
